Woman airlifted to Davis after Broadway collision

The Eureka Police Department responded to reports of a collision Saturday after a pickup truck driving northbound hit a pedestrian in the 2100 block of Broadway at 9:26 p.m.

The pedestrian sustained significant injuries, and was transported to the emergency room at St. Joseph Hospital. Due to the extent of her injuries, she was later airlifted to the University of California Medical Center at Davis. She remains in stable but critical condition, according to an EPD press release.

After speaking with parties and witnesses, officers believe the pedestrian attempted to cross Broadway outside of a crosswalk, at night, during foggy conditions. It appeared to officers that the driver of the pickup truck was operating his vehicle safely, according to the release.

The Eureka Police Department reminds motorists to drive safely during foggy conditions and pedestrians to use crosswalks when crossing streets. The EPD is asking witnesses to contact Officer Peter Cress at 441-4060 to assist with the ongoing investigation.
